Sonya Deville proved on SmackDown that she has a lot more to offer. It wasn't exactly a 'pipebomb', but it was one of those promos where the lines between fiction and reality were blurred. We love moments like that and we also believe that it could have been Deville's moment to take the torch and run with it.

It's no secret that WWE has always prioritized Mandy Rose and the recently broken-up tag team got in the ring to clear the air. While it looked like Deville was about to apologize, she ended up insulting her former tag team partner instead, blaming her for the lack of success she's experienced in WWE.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

The promo was all about how she was ready to break out of Rose's shadow and we thought it was great - until a point. The involvement of Dolph Ziggler and Otis may have felt necessary, but the reality is that it wasn't. Even if they accompany the respective women to the ring, the story should be about the two women and not the men.
